In short: Two mugs (and two mars bars)!
In full: Not one mug but two mugs, and not forgetting the mars bars... perhaps this was to apologise for the hills...?

Great organisation, well marshalled (and they offered much encouragement), shame the start was so far from the HQ.

Did I forget to mention the hills?

In short: Very scenic - tough hills
In full: Well organised race, testing, but scenic route. Well worth the visit. Nice touch with the individual result print out at the end. I thought the race suited the change of date - very picturesque

In short: Very hilly Hq miles from start but great support
In full: Its a very hilly course PBS would be very few and far between. Also the HQ is about a mile away from the start finish line. But the support is great most of the way round. And no medal you get 2 mugs.

In full: hilly and very very cold last year, i`m hoping it will be a little warmer this year and that i do better on the hills.
